Place of origin |
White and black plastic stereo slide viewer with two 35mm slides fixed in the holder. The slides present a 3D image that simulates a view through a hand-drawn television screen onto another television set. In the bottom right hand corner is a human figure with raised arms. From his left hand stretches a red line which leads to the tail of a small aeroplane or glider in flight. From his right hand stretches a blue line which leads to the tail of another, more modern, aeroplane, and a yellow line which leads to a third aeroplane. On the television screen is a series of hand drawn coloured marks and a colourful drawing of a figure. A yellow line links this figure to another, metallic-looking figure suspended in mid-air.
